If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 624d1705fa1d6e4c647ca5859ecd921748bd85bf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiang Liu <liuj97@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 7 Jun 2013 00:07:26 +0800 Subject: zram: avoid access beyond the zram device From: Jiang Liu <liuj97@xxxxxxxxx> commit 12a7ad3b810e77137d0caf97a6dd97591e075b30 upstream. Function valid_io_request() should verify the entire request are within the zram device address range. Otherwise it may cause invalid memory access when accessing/modifying zram->meta->table[index] because the 'index' is out of range. Then it may access non-exist memory, randomly modify memory belong to other subsystems, which is hard to track down.
